Piquant New Year Noodles

Well, almost New Year Noodles .. 

It's the last weekend of December & there's some leftover turkey to be used.

I have really enjoyed my Christmas lunches (X2 by the way) but, now, I need a little spice on my plate.

It's time for perky turkey.

For One ..

Cooked Turkey sliced into strips 

2/3 Garlic Cloves sliced thinly

Thumbnail piece of fresh Ginger peeled & sliced 

2 Chillies sliced thinly (seeds within or otherwise, your choice)

3 Spring Onions sliced

1 Red Pepper sliced into strips

1 tbsp Soy Sauce

1 Lemon zested & juiced (save a wedge)

100g Noodles (I used pre-cooked Singapore Noodles)

Heat some oil in a large frying pan & add the garlic, ginger, chillies & the red pepper

Let everything cook over a moderate heat for around 10 minutes stirring frequently

Next in the pan go the spring onions & the turkey 

Add the lemon juice, the zest & soy sauce making sure everything is well mixed

Finally, the noodles join the rest of the ingredients for 3 to 4 minutes before you plate up

A squeeze of the lemon wedge plus a final few drops of soy sauce & you're good to go

There's one more round of roast turkey for me today with the remaining meat sliced & in the ice box.

I love Christmas, as you may know from the blog & the pod, & the food is an enormous part of my festivities.

Next to tackle - the remainders of the veg box - thankfully it is aubergine-free. A fruit I hold in disfavour.

Kale is a close second & there's a bag of it I need to face & deal with before 2025.
